Styling Pimp my doblo

[L Doblo]

now for those who dont know im a mad bike builder take a look here www.devilsyam.com will give you some idea

well i just cant do standard, summat gotta change just to suit me

my van is for fishing carp fishing love it but having got more and more into it cars just got to small
hence the doblo

this is how i got it not perfect as has a dent in rear door to be fixed but a £2500 for a 2012 i aint moaning

as posted else ware speed restricter was first thing to go and sorted by tvans

decent stereo with hands free - q halfords 30 for fitting and he gave me a switched live for another socket i need result

so now for bit dress up autoline accesories on ebay came up with the goods all on polished stainless

easy to fit

here you can see side rail covers and using some carbon wrap i pimped the pertol flap

how on the hunt for wheels as this van crys out for them

so watch this space

Those front lights are fairly massive huh, wee bit of fly eye wrap on them would be good

IIRC, the "new" Dobs have the same 5 stud PCD as Vauxhall / Opel? Google it and check, but there's shedloads of choice without wobbles.

Older ones are 4 x 98. Not so much choice but some very nice older style Alfa and Lancia wheels if you keep your eyes peeled.
I'm hoping for some shagged out Alfa Pepperpots so I can matt black them for my winter wheels.

If the new ones anything like the previous you have to watch your ET because of the suspension.

I am told (by someone who is in the wheel business) that the new Dobby's are 5 x 98. He reckons 5 x 100 will fit with wobble bolts.

I had to Google "wobble bolts" to find out what they were

If fitting alternative wheels that are not from the latest Doblo, be very careful with the Offset and wheel back-depth as there is very little space between the inside of the rear tyre and the rear damper. When wanting a second set of wheels for mine for winter tyres, I decided that the size needed to be so precise that I bought official Doblo option wheels instead to be sure they were right.

yep there 5x98 et 35 same as alfa

Learn a new thing every day on the Alfa wheel size - I thought they'd caught something from the Grand Panda Opel Combi dalliance...

few more bits

led cambus error free internal bulbs wow what a difference especally in the back of the van very bright

bit of door bling

these were a bitch to fit so much so i dont even think there for the van model i had to heat bend and fit multible times to get anyware near a fit so not a diy job, seller on ebay was an ass about it and got what he diserved
